“Author” says:
It's not an original thought, of course. The songwriter Nick Cave gave an eloquent summary of the new religion a couple of weeks ago:
"Its once honourable attempt to reimagine our society in a more equitable way now embodies all the worst aspects that religion has to offer (and none of the beauty) — moral certainty and self-righteousness shorn even of the capacity for redemption. It has become quite literally, bad religion run amuck."
